Book Description
Culled from the latest medical research on breast self-examination, Susan Mendelsohn has created a journal for women that encourages them to practice monthly breast self-examination. She explains the limits of mammography and how it is only a component of a women's breast health practice, especially for younger women. Familiarity with one's body is the most important feature of self-care. Journaling and drawing these monthly self-exams not only invites this health ritual, but leaves a trace of information with one's doctors. The book is concisely informative with an excellent bibliography for women who want to read more on women's breast health. The author writes: "Make this journal your own. Just by bringing it home, you are beginning to take your health and the health of your breasts more seriously."

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati Great Beginnings Breast Health Promotion Program in knowledge of breast self exam, ability to identify steps to good breast health, intention of performing monthly breast self exam, and perceived effectiveness of breast self exam as a breast cancer detection method. The study was a secondary data analysis and utilized no control group. Initial assessment and post-test data were collected over a two year period at 12 high schools in a Midwestern city and included 1,068 participants. An overwhelming majority (95.9%, n=955) of participants reported an intention to perform monthly breast self exam following the program presentation. The majority (79.7%, n=851) of the participants also were able to recall one or more of the three steps to good breast health identified in the program, which included breast self exam (78.4%, n=837), mammogram (59.2%, n=632), and clinical breast exam (44.5%, n=475). The initial assessment and post-test showed the participants' knowledge of breast self exam, ability to identify steps to good breast health, and intention to perform monthly breast self exam. Interrelationships were found between the age and race of the participants and how they responded to initial assessment and post-test questions.
